Fans react to Justin Jefferson's frustration during Week 18 clash vs Lions as "Dude has no QB"
Vikings' Justin Jefferson shows frustration on field, sparking speculation about his future, contract extension, and potential trade. Fans react.
The Minnesota Vikings faced off in their season finale, but wide receiver Justin Jefferson was not happy with his performance. As the Vikings fell behind 13-0 and quarterback Nick Mullens struggled, Jefferson was visibly frustrated, taking off his helmet and yelling on the sidelines. By halftime, Jefferson had only six catches on eight targets for 89 yards, and the team had only scored on two field goals.
FOX broadcasted the video of Jefferson's frustration, sparking comments from fans on social media. Some speculated that Jefferson's frustration could lead to him leaving the team, with one fan even suggesting a potential reunion with his college quarterback, Joe Burrow, on the Cincinnati Bengals.
Jefferson has struggled with injuries this season, playing in only ten games due to a hamstring injury and a chest injury. With quarterback Kirk Cousins also sidelined by a season-ending Achilles injury, the Vikings have faced a challenging season.
In his fourth year of his rookie deal, Jefferson is set to earn $2.4 million this season, but the Vikings exercised his fifth-year option, committing to paying him $19.7 million for the 2024 NFL season. However, Jefferson's next contract could see him earning as much as $25 million per season, making it a lucrative opportunity for the talented wide receiver.
